Area

We are going over area again in math with our focus being on finding the area in "square units." 

Please help your child to carefully count squares in a shape, and to mark or number each square so they do not lose track.

Please quiz them whenever you have a free moment about whether a unit square should be counted as 0, 1/2, or 1.

A square that has less then half shaded/within the boundary is counted as 0.

A square that is exactly 1/2 shaded/within the boundary is counted as 1/2, and two 1/2 units are counted as 1 unit.

A square that is more than half shaded/within the boundary is counted as 1.

Thank you and have a great week!!
